# Loro Framework The layers of loro: - Loro Framework(this crate): It is agnostic to the op content. Thus intermediary nodes can work on this layer. It can handle apply updates, encode updates, hash and authentication. - CRDT Framework(loro-core crate): It is agnostic to the specific CRDT algorithms. We can register different CRDT algorithm upon it. - Specific CRDT Algorithm(loro-text, loro-array crate).
